The Clockwork Three by Matthew J. Kirby
Posted by hollybookscoops on May 12, 2012
I just read Matthew J. Kirby's debut novel, and I'm about to start devouring his next book, Icefall, which just won the Edgar Award in the juvenile ficiton category. I am looking forward to it. Unfortunately, we are putting in some landscaping- flower beds and such, and so I am going to have to work hard to sneak in some reading in between gardening. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll work it in somehow.
But… back to The Clockwork Three… I had a great time reading this novel and seeing how the lives of Frederick, Guiseppe and Hannah worked together like the intricate gears of a clock. Frederick is an orphan clockmaker's apprentice, Hannah is a maid and the sole provider for her poverty stricken family, while Guiseppe is a busker and slave to his Padrone (a really mean man that is basically a child-extortionist and slave-master). I love the name Guiseppe- it's so Italian, and the Italian aspect of his heritage was a small part of what endeared Guiseppe to my heart.
I've heard great things about Kirby's next book and I can hardly wait to get started. I also am looking forward to meeting Matthew J. Kirby in person this summer at the WIFYR conference and having him sign a copy for me. That's one of the great perks about this conference. Not only do they have a First Line Contest (open to everyone) going on right now, but they usually have a first line contest at the conference and they have author/illustrator signings. It's like a celebrity meet and great for the literary world. I can hardly wait to see all my favorite people @WIFYR!

Valentine's Day is the single biggest day for chocolate sales. Among the many kinds of chocolate now available for gift giving are sugar-free as well as dairy-free varieties. Today, sugar-free chocolates may also be labeled "lower carb."
Almost everyone loves chocolate because it provides sensual pleasure with its fabulous taste, texture and aroma. Humanity's love affair with chocolate dates back to about 2000 BC, when it was revered by the Aztecs and Mayans as a food of the gods and thought to possess romantic powers. Europe did not begin to appreciate chocolate until the 1500s.
Everyone's Favorite Vegetable
Many health professionals, including myself and Susan Love, MD, author of "Susan Love's Menopause and Hormone Book," consider chocolate a vegetable. After all, it is made from the cocoa bean, which provides dietary fiber and is full of antioxidants that keep cells healthy. Chocolate contains a significant amount of the mineral magnesium, which assists in blood glucose management, helps stabilize moods, provides quality sleep and is necessary for the health of our bones and heart. Compared with milk or white chocolate, dark chocolate provides the greatest benefit because it contains the most cocoa butter. Read labels carefully to choose chocolates that have "cocoa," "cocoa mass," and "cocoa butter" as the leading ingredient and the least amount of sugar and other additives.
Sugar-Free Sweets
Today, many diabetics find sugar-free chocolates appealing. But these confections are not totally innocent. Does a "sugar free" label on your chocolate-hazelnut truffle mean decreased health benefits?
To make chocolate "sugar free," sugar alcohols, usually maltitol, are used in place of sucrose or table sugar. These sugar alcohols, known as polyols, have fewer calories and tend to have less of an impact on blood glucose than does regular sugar. However, many people's digestive systems can tolerate only a small amount of these foods before they experience a laxative effect. Children, the elderly and anyone with a sensitive gastrointestinal system (for example, people with irritable bowel syndrome or gastroparesis) may find that these products exacerbate their symptoms. Some sugar-free chocolates also contain calorie-free artificial sweeteners such as Splenda or Equal.
Regular chocolates and sugar-free chocolates are both high in calories and fat, mostly saturated fat, which is typically associated with heart disease. However, we now know that not all saturated fats are created equal. One-third of the saturated fat in dark (not milk) chocolate contains a unique saturated fat called stearic acid, which does not seem to contribute to the formation of harmful plaque in the arteries.
So, is sugar-free chocolate recommended for diabetics? This question requires further consideration. Is your goal to eat less carbohydrate? Fewer calories? To use less insulin? Eating a moderate amount of chocolate isn't usually a problem. In fact, one secret of longevity may be to savor small amounts of chocolate a little bit at a time.
Have a Happy Valentine's Day!

is it a shallow well jet pump or deep well jet pump? Priming can take time depending on how far your well is from the pump.
I got up this morning and my Shur-dri 3/4 HP jet pump was done. I think water got to it from all the rain the last few days. Of course everything is closed today, but Home Depot and the only pumps they had were Flotech pumps. I picked one up, but never good get it to prime. I took all the fittings off, put teflon tape on them to make sure the pump wasn't sucking air. No luck. I went through 3 gallons of water trying to prime it. My pressure tank is at 28 PSI with no water in it. Ani ideas?
is it a shallow well jet pump or deep well jet pump? Priming can take time depending on how far your well is from the pump.
What was on it before was a 3/4 HP shallow well pump. I did not have the same trouble priming it about 5 years ago when I put it in.
When I was trying to prime the Flotech yesterday it kept shutting off and coming back on continuously, but it never really shut off. If that makes sense.
#1 Flotech is junk in my NSHO.
#2 pump cycling can be a symptom of a bad pressure switch or tank.
#3 The pumps can run on 240v or 120V. Is it set right.
#4 was the box open when you purchased it?
Cass is right,those pumps are junk and seeing that alot of places are now open,you might want to consider buying something better. It sounds to me,like cass said,you either have a bad tank,or you have a shut off that is closed on the discharge of that pump.That flow tech might be able to get you out of a jam but in the long run it will put your right back into one.
Yes the box was closed when I bought it. Thanks for the input. I am thinking about getting some professional help. And probably call some one on the plumbing too. Thanks again
I wouldnt be so quick to brand and entire brand as junk, unless we are discussing harbor freights electric tools from Child-slavelabor.com
Flotec is not the problem in this guys case - he has other problems that only a pro can solve. Maybe, and truly just maybe, the flotec will not last as long as the ???? brand. On a dollar for hour basis though, flotec just might win the race.
Anyone that has been inside of a jet pump knows how few the components are and how little one can cheapen the construction process. The case moldings are not an issue. The impeller is the key but still typically a durable item. Flotec didnt make the motor, GE did in some tijuana sweat shop joint that supplies sta rite and jacuzzi too. The seals are made by yet another outfit and have yet to be degraded.
By the way guys, if the pump cuts in and cuts out under pressure rise it is obviously primed and trying to go! Look toward solutions other than a name brand change.
I am a plumber that works on wells occasionally, because of the lack of well professionals in my area.
My statement that Flotech was junk has been from personal experience with more than 1 unit.
I also listed other things that I thought may be the problem.
You well professionals should be able, through questions and answers, to help better than I can.
i was trying to figure out his situation. I simply told him flo techs will maybe get somone out of a jam but they aren't a realy good product at all. His pump might have been building to shut off pressure but it doesn't mean that it was primed. If that water has no place to go what small amount is in that pump would be enough for the pump to shut off. The guy never realy gave any feed back about his tank and valves so cant realy help him.
We not only badmouth Flotec pumps, we refuse to work on them. They are made as cheaply as a pump can possibly be made. The price to quality relationship is not an equal tradeoff. Not only is the pump junk, but the motor which is made like Raucina said, by GE is the cheapest motor one can buy. The life expectancy of this unit is in my experience is 1.5 years. That said: TBurr said the pump was going on and off but would not shut off. I believe he has wired the motor to the wrong voltage and the motor is shutting off on the overload. A common mistake made by DIY'ers. If the wrong voltage is applied, the motor may not run long enough for the pump "to" catch a prime.

Local Atmosphere:
The school is located between two major malls and is in range of public rail and bus lines. The campus is in close proximity to popular attractions and concert venues.
There are many computers available in the library and 24 hour room. If you need to work or print, you will find at least one computer free for use
Periodically visit the financial aid office because they have information on some pretty good scholarships that you might not find otherwise.
I just recently changed my major so I have not been able to fully experience the workload. However, from what I must do in order to graduate and from the classes I am experiencing now, I see that being a Communications major is not going to be an easy task.
The teachers are very helpful and available, give or take a few of them, the courses are good and challenging, and the options available for academic help, study abroad, and other things of the like are good as well.
Campus Strictness:
There are times when they are strict and times when they are lenient. It really just depends on the situation and the time.
Our athletic teams are well supported and announced by the campus. Games are interesting and the teams are close.
I am not really a nightlife type person, so I would not know in particular. The parties around campus can get pretty loud to the point where they are heard from my dorm room.
Unless there is snow, school continues despite the weather. The pathways to class and the buildings are still accessible in heavy rain, although the open area is pretty inconvenient for those without cars or umbrellas.
Health & Safety:
I feel like there is not enough staff to actually help anyone in multiple places. They are not always available on call and take too long to respond to either drug or disruption of peace calls by students.
Off-Campus Dining:
We have a lot of local places and thankfully they give student discounts.
People mostly attend the soccer games and basketball games. We do not have football, so basketball is our main sport.
Campus Housing:
For the cost, we could use a lot more perks.
Off-Campus Housing:
There are many apartments near campus and are very affordable. They are more affordable than on campus housing.
Although we are in the south Georgia gets more east coast weather than "Dirty South" weather. Being from Alabama I am used to sweltering summers and frigid winters, however Georgia has less humid summers, more wind, more sun, and it gets kind of chilly for someone who is used to the heat until November or even December. It didn't take long to adapt and going home to winter over the holiday break was easy. The weather doesn't affect my campus experience, it can't because not going to class isn't an option! It's bearable but bring winter clothes and summer clothes because you never know what the temperature will be despite the season.
Campus Housing:
Dorm life is about 50/50. The worst dorms to be in are Traer and Jacobs/Alumni halls simply because they are the oldest buildings and are really rundown. The school has been savaging them too long, however I did hear there are going to be new dorms built in place of these dorms. The best dorms are Dempsey, Jobe Hanssen and NoSo. These dorms are fairly new and are kept up very well. The atmosphere in the nice dorms is pretty average. These dorms are a lot quieter than Traer and Alumni/ Jacobs which are known as the party dorms. Dempsey is quiet which is usually where people who study a lot stay (unless they run out space and you end up in Traer) and if they desire some high energy late at night they will go to the "party dorms." Cost is actually not bad. Traer should be as cheap as Alumni/Jacobs because of the building being old, but I digress. the other buildings are definitely worth the pay. Housing process is very simple. Fill out the application submit your fee and they notify everyone what room they are in, who there roommate is, their contact info (phone number, twitter, facebook) and also the suite mates contact information. If there is a change in any of that they will send an email with new information regarding the change. When we moved in they had a team who literally just strip your car of every box, bag, anything and they take it to your room. It literally takes less than 5 minutes, and your only job is to pack and unpack. It was very easy.
Drug Safety:
Drug and alcohol abuse is zero tolerance here. There were a couple of bust in the freshman dorm in the beginning of the school year and afterwards we haven't heard of any more. They make it very apparent in orientation that we have zero tolerance for underage drinking and drug use. They kick students out for drug usage. We are actually becoming a transition school concerning tobacco use but until this year we were a smoke free campus and we may go back to that. Any time there is alcohol abuse by anyone they take the necessary precautions and if it is underage they will take students to judicial board and usually there is community service involved for the first account. When upperclassmen are found to be giving alcohol to students they are also taking to judicial board and usually receive severe repercussions (suspension). At Greek parties, the coordinator is always walking around making sure no one underage is drinking and if they are they are escorted to their dorm unless there are signs of alcohol poisoning.
Parking lots are literally right behind the dorms and each academic building has a lot. Oglethorpe is small so it is easy for commuter students to find parking because residential students park at their dorms and walk to class. Permits were very reasonably priced, we are probably the cheapest school when it comes to that. There are a few times when upper classmen have issues with parking because one lot is really small and it is shared by two dorms but the surrounding lots are still fairly close.
There is plenty to do in Atlanta, once you are a certain age. A lot of the clubs here are 21 and over and they have college nights on Thursday. Personally, if I want to hang out, my friends and I get together in someone's common room and we will have our own thing there. I'm not much of a club goer, actually my first time in a club/lounge setting was last semester. Josephine's lounge was a nice spot. It wasn't too rowdy and there was a nice open dance floor and very laid back lounging booths and very good servers. I've heard of Mansion and some other clubs but a lot of the under 21 students are too fond of it because college night isn't as fun as going to a club where all ages are there. However I'm not a club goer but my experience at Josephine's lounge was nice and it was just enough. There are also Hookah bars around that I hear are very reasonably priced.
Campus Dining:
Campus dining gets old very quickly. As a vegetarian I find it harder to maintain a nutritious diet with the food available. We have the Mongolian grill, the standard meal for the night, off to the side will be a pasta dish for the vegetarians, the grill that has garden burgers, a sandwich maker station, salad bar, waffle maker, and a pizza spread. While this sounds plentiful quickly can you be deceived. For the most part the meals have the same concept. Occasionally there will be new dishes that they try, but very rarely are the dishes brought back even if they have popular demand. The fresh fruit is always pineapples and cantaloupes and there will be apples or pears or oranges on the side. For breakfast we have an omelet station and then there is the station with the standard breakfast meal. Typically the standard breakfast meal is the same foods everyday:hash browns, grits, biscuits, eggs, oatmeal. a lot of students by food and cook because they are tired of eating chicken everyday and vegetarians get tired of the zucchini and squash dishes. If we could opt out of a meal plan, most of us would.
Off-Campus Dining:
Off campus dining includes, Mellow Mushroom, Mcdonald's, Chin Chin, Olde Blind Dog to name a few. These different places offer different types of food, however a lot of the restaurants surrounding the school are more expensive because of the area. There are a nice amount of restaurants that are pretty affordable for a part-time working college student with an allowance however, they are a little bit further down passed campus. They aren't nearly as convenient for students who don't have cars. For those types of students, they have to catch rides, get a taxi, or rent the zipcar which all costs money. The best places to check out that are close to campus are little shops in The Town at Brookhaven like The Flying Biscuit, Moe's, Newk's, Chin Chin 7 is also fairly close to campus and is affordable (definitely great for having left overs). Publix deli is a go to for a lot of students without cars, which is also located in The Town at Brookhaven and is within walking distance.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are not many discounts for student but there are some great choices.
We aren't a sports university but many student play sports
Local Atmosphere:
The city is huge and has plenty of opportunity. Local attitude is enjoyable.
Guys & Girls:
Most people are stylish, we all come from different places so choice of clothing is always diverse.

Oglethorpe is unusual but only in the best of ways. The education is great, and the environment is supportive, but a stay at Oglethorpe requires hard work. Some parties are fun, but some are boring, and there are many nice people but also some cliques. However, most everyone is welcoming and not afraid to be themselves —eccentricities are the norm on campus. If someone's looking for fun, they'll eventually find it.
While many scholarships are available, it can prove hard to maintain the GPA required to keep them. This makes studying very important, and it can sometimes interfere with the social scene. For others, though, the curriculum is not so bad, and there is plenty of time to enjoy themselves both on an off campus.
Oglethorpe is a safe and nurturing environment where a student can expect to be treated as an individual. The classes are tiny but by no means lacking in comparison to courses at other schools. In fact, an advantage of Oglethorpe is the one-on-one treatment a student can expect from teachers. There aren't many students here, so it's easy to get to know everyone. The school is beautiful, and so is the atmosphere—it's safe and, even better, inviting.

The Volkswagen Passat estate is very good at just about everything. In many respects, in fact, it's borderline brilliant.
Let's start with the engine. with an extra 30bhp of top-end thrust and 22lb.ft more mid-range muscle over the Passat saloon tested on page 47, the estate performed with more urgency. The difference is especially noticeable when towing. The 168bhp estate went from 30-60mph in just 12.7 seconds – 4.5 quicker than the 138bhp saloon.
Both Passats have high gearing, chosen with economy in mind, but the more powerful engine copes better. You may need a lower gear than expected from time to time, but official figures promise spectacular fuel economy as a reward: 60.1mpg should be possible driven solo.
The willing engine is matched to a composed and stable chassis. Through the lane-change test the car was unshakeable, no matter how the 'van swung around behind it. The AL-KO ATC sensors recorded hardly any movement from the 'van when slowing sharply from high speeds.
With or without a tourer, it's hard not to be impressed by how quiet the Passat's cabin is. There might not be quite as much legroom as in a Ford Mondeo or skoda superb, but there's more than enough space for most families.
Our practicality judge found plenty of luggage space for our mix of suitcases, bags and tent poles, and was pleased to see a full-sized spare wheel. The electrics weren't as easy to access as they ought to be, but there's not much else to criticise.
Buying & owning
Just about the complete all-rounder. great for towing, practical and economical.
The Astra Sports Tourer impressed everyone who drove it. In spite of having just 123bhp to call on, it took a respectable 19.2 seconds to tow from 30-60mph. It was stability rather than performance that earned the astra so many plaudits, though. Our performance tester concluded that the sports tourer matched the stability "of some of the best models in the top weight category".
If the astra scored 'a+' for stability, it earned a 'B-' in the hill start. The electronic parking brake held the outfit still every time, but careful balance of clutch and throttle was needed to pull up the slope cleanly. This was particularly true in reverse, when it was easy to stall.
The astra also picked up solid scores from the practicality judge. There was space for all the holiday luggage, and though the car comes with a compact spare, the handbook says it can be used when towing. The steep price is partly offset by big discounts and running costs are low, too. Expect 62.8mpg on the combined cycle while emitting just 119g/km of carbon dioxide. A few cars beat those figures, but none tow as well as the Vauxhall. That's why it's 2011's green award-winner.
An excellent small estate with impressive economy and low emissions.
As one of the most affordable seven-seaters in this year's tests, we were looking forward to testing the Mazda 5. It turned out to be an okay towcar rather than a really good one, with a disappointing towing limit.
Stability at 60mph was acceptable, and the sensitive steering helped the driver make small corrections easily. However, the Mazda was out of sorts in the lane-change test, noticeably pushed around by the 'van.
The 1.6-litre engine may be small, but with 199lb.ft of torque it was strong enough to pull the outfit from 30-60mph in 20.4 seconds. Most judges found acceleration to be acceptable up to 60mph, but the Mazda struggled to go much quicker, especially into a headwind.
So long as the handbrake was pulled firmly, it stopped the Mazda rolling back on the test hill. However, it took a careful balance of clutch and throttle to reach the top. The smell from the clutch showed just how hard the 5 found reversing back up the other side of the hill.
Inside, the flexible cabin offers a variety of seating arrangements with no need to remove the seats first, although the centre seat in the second row is hard and uncomfortable. Fold the third row away and there is plenty of luggage space.
A good MPV and a solid towcar, but there are better cars in this weight class.
Does your 'van weigh more than 1200kg? Then you can skip the next 200 words, because the Ford grandC-Max 1.6 150 ecoboost won't tow it. That's a shame, because apart from the restrictive towing limit (well under 85% of the car's kerbweight) the Ford makes a good towcar.
The engine may be a small-capacity petrol, but the addition of turbo promises good performance and economy (hence the ecoboost name). For the most part, that's what it delivers. There may not be the mid-rev thrust of a good turbodiesel, but the engine still pulls the grand C-Max forward long after a diesel would have shut up shop and demanded the next gear.
We had no arguments with the Ford's stability, either. The AL-KO ATC system showed little movement from the tourer at speed. In the lanechange test the grand C-Max stayed on course, no matter how out of shape the caravan was behind it.
Inside, there's space for seven in a seating arrangement so similar to the Mazda 5 you wonder if Ford's designers sat down in a Mazda showroom with a tape measure and digital camera. With the two rear seats folded, our practicality judge found room for every luggage item, although he thought the handbook was short on towing information.
An impressive towcar that would be better still with a higher towing limit.
Last year's class champion is still one of the best cars in this division. On towing ability, it's a match for the Passat estate, with exceptional stability at speed and composed performance in the lane-change test.
There's no shortage of poke. The 158bhp engine pulls car and caravan from 30-60mph in 12.2 seconds. a little more pull from very low revs wouldn't go amiss, though. The push-button parking brake held the outfit on the 1-in-6 test hill, and the astra pulled up the slope easily in first gear and reverse.
The boot was far too small to cope with our holiday luggage. however, the compact spare wheel may be used when towing.
Still a top performer. excellent performance and stability.
Most Qualities that apply to the Passat estate also apply to the saloon. The four-door is just as stable. Pushed hard in our lane-change test, even when the caravan began to slide, the Passat stayed on course.
The 138bhp saloon is slower, though, taking 17.2 seconds to go from 30-60mph. The less-powerful engine isn't as flexible as the estate's, and doesn't cope as well with Passat's high gearing.
With or without a van, the VW is very quiet and refined at speed. It rides comfortably, too, and while not as lively as the Ford Mondeo, it's a satisfying drive. The boot holds a full load of luggage and a Trailer stability Programme is standard.
A capable, refined towcar although the gearing is high for towing.
We drove the 2.0-litre 4x4 version of the hyundai ix35 last year. The less powerful 1.7-litre two-wheel-drive costs almost £3,000 less. Is it better value? Not if you own a caravan weighing over 1300kg. That's the legal towing limit, and a few kilos less than 85% of the car's kerbweight.
To be honest, though, we wouldn't want to pull more than 1300kg. we found that the ix35 tended to wander in crosswinds when towing, and inconsistent steering didn't help the driver keep the car straight.
Despite poor stability in a straight line, the hyundai coped reasonably well with the lane-change test, but the back of the car was pulled around by the 'van at higher speeds. The ix35 gained ground in the hill-start test. so long as the handbrake was pulled firmly, the outfit held still. Given lots of revs it coped with the hill in first gear and reverse.ven with its limitations, there's no doubt that the hyundai makes a practical towcar. almost all the luggage went in the boot, there's a full-size spare wheel and towing electrics are easy to access . The ix35 is well equipped and cheaper than most rivals. Fuel economy of 48.7mpg should keep running costs down, too.
Towball limit
A mid-life nip-and-tuck has refreshed the Ford Mondeo's looks and upgraded the interior finish, while a revised engine line-up promises better economy and lower emissions.
The Mondeo's engine is that bit noisier than the VW Passat saloon's, and there's more road noise, too. However, the gearing is better suited to towing, so acceleration in fifth and sixth is stronger than the Passat can manage, although from 30-60mph through the gears there's nothing to choose between them.
Driving judges and the al-ko aTC system agreed that this is a very stable towcar, with little movement from the caravan when slowing down from high speeds. The lane-change test was straightforward, too. However much the 'van slid, the car was never dragged off-line. Leave the caravan on your drive and the Mondeo is great fun to drive solo. The suspension strikes a near-perfect balance between comfort and control, and the steering is direct and precise.
It's also a very spacious car, with plenty of room for adults to sit in comfort in the back. We found room for all our holiday luggage, too. On the other hand, it's a shame no Trailer Stability Programme is fitted.

Yeah I know this. Nice try.
But not in this case. Copies will always reveal very subtle differences somewhere in the product or at least in the packaging, like poorer quality printing on the box. This is the real McCoy down to the slanted shaped box that closes with the two velcro buttons and the imprinted MSERIES black velour cable holder. You can see that there is Monster writing on the jacket of the cable under the tech-flex mesh. Plus I seriously doubt that there is a large enough market to bother making fake Monster HDMI cables. The items that are counterfeit copies are high demand items such as watches for example.

The last couple of years have been tough for most businesses — and for their employees. Forty percent of employees consider their job either "very" or "extremely" stressful, and 25 percent cite it as the No. 1 stressor in their lives today, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health. Traditional incentives such as salary increases have been half of what they were in the late 1990s (if there are any increases at all), and benefits such as 401(k)'s are diminishing.
Don't be surprised if statistics like this soon lead to a mass exodus from some companies. A recent survey by the Society for Human Resource Management found 83 percent of employees — including top performers — saying that they plan to look for a new job as the economy improves.
The irony of this undercurrent of stress and distress in the workplace is that it wouldn't take that much to change things. The first step would be to show employees you care about them — to thank them for their efforts. Ask them how you can help them be more successful in their jobs. Ask for their ideas on how things could be improved. And when you ask their opinion, be receptive. Remember, an open door policy doesn't do much for a closed mind.
Give your employees the information they need to do their jobs better, and involve them in decisions — especially decisions that affect them. Identify ways to help employees learn and grow in their current positions.
A big one: Consider giving employees more flexibility in their working hours. Gallup has found that 83 percent of employees say they want more time with their families, while 60 percent report feeling pressure to work too much.
It's never too late to do the right thing. In the end, everyone wants to work in a job that they can be excited about, making a contribution and being part of something larger than themselves. Even if you haven't always been the easiest person to work for, your employees might welcome your efforts and give you and the job another chance.

Judge Bars, for Now, Testimony in Penn State Hearing
|0 Comments
A judge on Tuesday directed prosecutors and lawyers for three former Penn State administrators to make their cases in writing as he weighs claims that the defendants' legal rights were so badly violated that charges they covered up child sex-abuse allegations should be thrown out.
Dauphin County Judge Todd Hoover ruled that the defendants could not call to the stand Cynthia Baldwin, who accompanied the men to grand jury appearances in 2011 and then testified against them. Baldwin, a former state Supreme Court justice and university trustee, was Penn State's top lawyer at the time, and the defendants believe she violated attorney-client privilege.
Hoover told the lawyers to submit proposed findings of fact and legal conclusions, after which he will schedule a hearing so they can argue the issues. The judge also indicated he would unseal records in the case, but courthouse officials said afterward no new documents were immediately available.
In a video of the press conference posted on a Harrisburg-based news website, former university president Graham Spanier's attorney, Elizabeth Ainslie of Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis, said that the subpoenas were quashed "at least for the time being." She added that Hoover said the witnesses were unnecessary at the present time.
Ainslie told reporters in the video that she believed Hoover indicated he was not taking up issues of attorney-client privilege during the immediate proceedings. The judge wanted to limit the initial considerations to the written records of the conversations, Ainslie said in the video.
It is possible that there will be another hearing, at which time the defendants can subpoena the witnesses again, Ainslie said.
She declined at the press conference to discuss what exculpatory testimony she hoped to elicit from Baldwin.
Spanier, former vice president Gary Schultz and former athletic director Tim Curley are accused of covering up child sex-abuse complaints about former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. They face charges of perjury, obstruction, conspiracy, child endangerment and failure to properly report suspected child abuse.
The 20-minute proceeding had been scheduled to last four days, but there was a three-hour closed-door conference Monday during which Hoover also quashed a subpoena issued to Frank Fina, a former state prosecutor who was involved in the grand jury proceedings.
Another subpoena, issued to former state prosecutor Jonelle Harter Eshbach, was quashed by Hoover on Tuesday. Defense lawyers listed the documents the judge will consider, including grand jury transcripts and correspondence among the attorneys.

The 37th annual Lyons "Good Old Days" are over and seemed to have gone pretty well, except the big hail storm Friday night. A near calamity to many who were caught all of a sudden with big hailstones pounding their heads. One of the carnival men was taken to the hospital, pounded by the hail, using his body to protect kids. Our thanks to you! Over one hundred were crowded together under the tent and were fearful of it blowing away. It has been years since we had so much hail! Following that hail everything was cancelled for Friday, but recovered on Saturday, and all had a great time.

With the school year over and summer officially here, kids are spending more time outdoors. Exposure to the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays increases skin cancer risk, which can be dangerous and even deadly. Suffering one or more blistering sunburns in childhood or adolescence more than doubles a person's chances of developing potentially deadly melanoma later in life. However, skin cancer is highly preventable, and adopting a complete sun protection regimen can drastically reduce skin cancer risk. There are many things parents and caregivers can do to keep children sun-safe, whether they are at camp, the beach, or just in the backyard.

Wow! Lyons certainly got its taste of what happens when there is a catastrophe. Something new to most of us! The hail last Friday night is said to have ruined about 80% of the roofs in town, nearly 650 homes. At 6 a.m., Saturday morning, the town was full of roofing contractors. The insurance companies have their own repairmen who do the work for the amount the adjuster states, plus your deductible. Then another roofing company comes by "So and so isn't any good, you should use me." Now the confusion! Which one do you use? Of course we want the best job done. I guess this is a

Optimizing airflow with simulation. Fast. Easy-to-use.
FloVENT® is a powerful Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software that predicts 3D airflow, heat transfer, contamination distribution and comfort indices in and around buildings of all types and sizes. FloVENT's fast and easy-to-use menu system is designed specifically for engineers involved in the design and optimization of heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
FloVENT Uses
FloVENT can be applied to buildings of all types and sizes:
- atriums, shopping malls and office buildings
- theatres, airport terminals, storage facilities and warehouses
- telephone exchanges and data centers
- passenger comfort in vehicles
- air quality and contaminant control in laboratories, research facilities, hospitals and underground car parks.
Whether you choose to license FloVENT for in-house use or to employ our FloVENT airflow modeling consultancy, you can meet the daily challenges of predicting airflow patterns and thermal effects to maximize contamination control and reduce operating costs more confidently and productively than ever before.
Features and Benefits
Create Intelligent Models
FloVENT features the most complete and technically advanced model creation environment for airflow modeling design. Models that range in scale from diffusers, heat exchangers, grilles, CRAC units and enclosures are assembled quickly from a complete set of SmartParts (intelligent model creation macros) that are supplied with FloVENT. SmartParts capture modeling expertise that has been developed within Mentor Graphics over the past 20 years to streamline model creation, minimize solve times and maximize solution accuracy.
Finely-tuned Solver
For over 20 years, the FloVENT solver has specifically addressed heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) applications. The solver, based on a Cartesian gridding system, delivers the most accurate results possible and the fastest solution time per grid cell. Massive disparity in geometric length scales are resolved using the unique 'localized-grid' technique which allows for integrally matched, nested, non-conformal grid interfaces between different parts of the solution domain.
The conjugate nature of heat transfer is concurrently solved using a preconditioned conjugate residual solver together with a flexible cycle multi-grid solution technique. Pragmatic, unique and accurate solution termination criteria produce useful results in engineering, not academic, time scales.
Automatic Optimization
SmartPart-based modeling and structured-cartesian grid enable Design of Experiments technology to be applied to a FloVENT model. Design of Experiments is a structured method for determining the relationship between design parameters (e.g., diffuser flow rate, location of vents, etc) and results (comfort indices, contaminant removal efficiency, etc).
FloVENT's Design of Experiments implementation efficiently explores the design space by building and solving variants of the initial model. This provides critical information regarding the sensitivity of the airflow results to changes in the design parameters while minimizing the number of simulations to be solved and serves as the foundation of the powerful response surface and sequential optimization design tools.
Powerful Visualization Tools
The FloVENT visualization toolset is developed specifically to maximize productivity of engineers. Fully rendered models, 3D flow animation and tools for dynamic manipulation of temperature and flow results, enable engineers to pinpoint thermal and ventilation issues and visualize design improvements quickly and effectively. Texture mapping and video output enables powerful communication of design concepts with non-technical colleagues and customers.
Tight integration with CAD
FloVENT also features the industry's best solution for integration with CAD software. Native data from Pro/ENGINEER, Autodesk Inventor, Solidworks and other CAD Software, as well as the DXF file format can be imported into FloVENT. Unlike other CAD to analysis interoperability solutions, FloVENT automatically prepares the geometry for efficient and accurate analysis.
Use of a robust structured Cartesian mesher minimizes solution time
FloVENT grid is structured-Cartesian - the most stable and numerically efficient type of grid available. The ability to localize is also included for finer resolution where it is needed, minimizing solution time and avoiding the penalty of grid cells that "bleed".
Localized Version Support
Localized versions supported: Japanese for Visual Editor and FloVIZ.

I'm using it rewired to Cakewalk Sonar 5 and when I'm recording notes on any Reason device, if I'm recording notes onto the Reason sequencer (with a M-Audio Radium 49 keyboard)the note seems to get recorded as 2 notes, one like 1/64 in length then a longer one imediately after it.
When you play it back, the note just wont sound properly.
It's alright if you record the notes straight into Sonar sequencer but I've just got into the habit of recording things straight into Reason, even when I'm using it rewired and also, I'm not sure if it will effect using things like the new arpegiator.
Just wondered if anyone else had experienced the same thing and whether it is a bug with reason 4.
When I'm using Reason on it's own, there doesn't seem to be any problems and the keyboard is working fine.

PORTLAND - As he sat in the classroom desk, Mike Taylor listened to his sixth-grade teacher explain the assignment: Write about the career you want when you grow up.
Mike Taylor, after stints in college ball, Europe and the Rio Grande Valley, is coaching the Red Claws.
Gordon Chibroski/Staff Photographer
FRIDAY: Kids and Claws Welcome Back Dinner, 5:30 p.m., Portland Expo
SATURDAY: Benefit scrimmage, 6 p.m., Edward Little High School, Auburn
NOV. 23: Season opener in Canton, Ohio, 7:30 p.m.
NOV. 30: Home opener, vs. Los Angeles D-Fenders, 7 p.m. at Portland Expo
His classmates would turn in the expected essays on being a doctor, policeman and fireman.
Basketball coach.
"In his report," recalled Mike's father, Dick Taylor, "he wrote diagrams -- not just Xs and Os, but numbers (for each position), dotted lines for passes, screens, everything.
"I was impressed. I could not believe this kid in sixth grade was diagramming plays. He wanted to be a coach and that's exactly what he did."
Mike Taylor, 40, will blow his whistle again today, gather a group of players around him and begin the first Maine Red Claws practice for the 2012-13 NBA D-League season.
"I'm really excited to get things started," Taylor said.
Is there any other way Taylor would approach a season?
"Mike has passion," his father said.
"Whatever he does, whether it be football, basketball or baseball, he always has a smile on face. He loves what he's doing. That passion, I think, is one of the reasons the Celtics hired him."
Indeed, in this first season of the Celtics making personnel decisions for the Red Claws, they chose Taylor to coach their D-League affiliate.
"In developing players in the D-League, which can be a tough place to play, you need a positive coach with a lot of energy," said Celtics director of personnel Austin Ainge at the time of Taylor's hiring in September.
When Mike Taylor was born, his father was coach at Lock Haven University in central Pennsylvania.
After a stint as Willis Reed's assistant with the New York Knicks and then Creighton University, Dick Taylor took the head job at Clarion University in western Pennsylvania, about 75 miles north of Pittsburgh.
That is where Michael Taylor grew up, as a gym rat.
"I was always the ball boy, sitting at the end of the bench, eating popcorn, having a lot of fun," Taylor said.
"I was taking road trips with those guys. "I've always been around (basketball). I've always enjoyed it."
But he played other sports, too.
At Clarion High, Taylor quarterbacked the football team and was recruited by a handful of small-college teams.
The high school did not have a baseball team, but Taylor played youth leagues and showed promise.
"I figured my best chance to play professionally was in baseball," Taylor said.
Taylor walked on at Florida Southern University, a stellar Division II program that routinely sends players to the pros. Taylor, playing outfield, hit over .400 in the fall league.
But something did not feel right.
"He called me and said, 'dad, I miss basketball,' " Dick Taylor said.
Mike Taylor asked himself the question that his sixth-grade teacher had asked years ago.
"I was raw (as a baseball player) and needed a lot of work," Taylor said.
"I thought, you know what, if I'm going to put a lot of work into something -- and I know I want to be be a basketball coach -- then I'm going to play basketball."
Taylor finished the year at Florida Southern. The school's basketball coach was not interested in Taylor, so he looked to transfer.
He discovered Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where the coach, Kurt Kanaskie, had previously coached against Dick Taylor.
With Taylor in uniform, IUP became a national power in Division II. Kanaskie describes Taylor in two telltale ways:
"He was very instrumental in leading the team Did an outstanding job of focusing the group, setting goals and planning for the team to reach those goals."

A shopper asked: I am a single woman. Smelled this fragrance in a magazine and fell in love with it -- for myself. Would this be too much for a man to smell on me? Jul 27, 2013
Johann A: That's a tricky question. Everyone's chemistry works differently with different fragrances, so I'd say the best advice would be to get a sample if you can and see what kind of reaction you get.
La Nuit is a little heavier on the woody notes that L'Homme Libre, which is more citrusy and fresh, but the reason I love La Nuit is because it is still fresh and light without being overly heavy and musky.
I have had many female friends, and strangers, compliment me on La Nuit - the last time, it was two older ladies at the theatre, who swore up and down they were going to get it for themselves they loved it so much - no cares about what men might think! Jul 30, 2013

Jeffrey W: Hello, I wear both the original and La Nuit. My favorite is certainly La Nuit but I will not wear this fragrance during the day too often. I certainly would not reccomend wearing this fragrance during a warmer afternoon. I experimented once and the fragrance intensified too much with the heat. However, I wear La Nuit anytime I have and evening obligation or dinner. I wear the orginal to work as it is a more suttle fragrance that isn't especially overpowering in the office. May 20, 2012

The boos and the catcalls echoed as Tommie Smith and John Carlos walked off the medal stand in the summer of 1968, track shoes in their hands to symbolize the poverty of their youth. The noise reached a crescendo as they stepped into a tunnel labeled the dungeon in the bowels of Estadio Olímpico Universitario in Mexico City.
It was a fitting place to be for two young black men beginning a descent into sports infamy. By raising a fist in the air, Smith and Carlos felt the punitive payback of repeated punches to the face. Death threats, hate mail, isolation.
"I did not know what would happen after that," Smith said, "but if I lived, I knew it would be different."
The journey now comes with 45 years of perspective, and that change that Smith foreshadowed in the mid-summer night's air.
Smith and I are chatting in a room at the Orlando History Center on Tuesday evening, where later in the night Smith will receive the Beacon of Excellence Award from the Kerosene Lamp Foundation, headed by former Magic player Adonal Foyle.
Nobody booed as Smith came to the front of the room to receive the award. Instead, the audience -- which included former Olympic medalists Jeff Demps and Justin Gatlin -- rose in unison to give him a standing ovation.
A villain in the context of 1968. A hero in the context of 2013.
"He's helped athletes like myself fight for what you believe in, no matter what your battle is," Gatlin said.
In the summer of 1968, the battle for Smith and Carlos was social equality. The Vietnam War, racial discrimination, social unrest, all came together in a witches' brew of chaos. There was talk of an Olympic boycott by black athletes from the United States.
Instead, the Games went on, and Smith and Carlos used their influence as Olympic medalists during the victory ceremony. Smith, who set a world record in the 200 meters, and Carlos, who finished third, each raised a gloved first in the air during the playing of the National Anthem to protest the plight of blacks in the U.S. It remains one of the most iconic snapshots in sports history.
Banished from the Olympic Village, they spent the night at the El Diplomatico Hotel in Mexico City. Pariahs. Troublemakers. Or far worse.
Brent Musburger, then a sports writer with the Chicago American, called them a "a pair of black-skinned storm troopers." It was quite an ironic rip job, since Avery Brundage, then the head of the International Olympic Committee, was a Nazi sympathizer.
Time would eventually prove that Smith and Carlos were on the right side of history.
"Sacrifice was so often necessary to make real the idea of change," Smith said. "…overcoming is not a dead issue. There's always overcoming."
Smith lost his job in downtown auto dealership in San Jose, Calif. His marriage ended in divorce. He was forced to move in with former Olympic teammate Lee Evans, with only a suitcase in his hand.
Smith overcame all that hardship and backlash to eventually become an educator, teaching sociology at Oberlin College and Santa Monica College. Now 68, he is remarried and lives with his wife Delois in Georgia. He has received countless accolades, including the 2008 Arthur Ashe Courage Award (along with Carlos) during the ESPYs.
He has a lot of Olympic memories and trinkets in a secured 1,500-square foot gallery in his home, but those iconic black gloves are long gone.
He sold his 1965 Nova in 1969, and forgot the gloves were stuck in the back seat somewhere. His six-month-old son at the time was always playing with them when daddy drove him around town in San Jose.
A lost memento on a tumultuous road of personal sacrifice.

|THE HOST - Angelika After Hours
110 mins. | Rated R
|A monster movie for the era of biological warfare, THE HOSE delivers high-octane thrills while cannily exploiting contemporary political fears, inspired visual humor, and an overriding mood of popcorn-movie excitement. When a U.S. military scientist orders an immense stash of toxic formaldehyde to be dumped down the drain, the result is the birth of a mutant beast in Seoul's Han River. Director Bong Joon-ho paints an endearing and comical portrait of the quirky family at the center of the film, whose youngest daughter is scooped up by the scaly creature as it rampages through Seoul.

As in 24:45-51, readiness for Jesus' return here demands faithfulness in doing the work he has called us to do. This warning applies to all disciples, but perhaps most seriously to church leaders: "A Christian leader who does not lead is damned" (Meier 1980:300).
We have the opportunity to multiply what Christ has entrusted to us. Matthew seems to make a special point in noting that the master gave to each according to his ability—he already knew which slaves would be most industrious, but expected all to show some industry. In the Roman Empire slaves could earn wages and bonuses and acquire property (as in Apul. Metam. 10.13; Cohen 1966:179-278), hence they would have more incentive to look out for the master's property than slaves in many cultures do. Householders going on long journeys might entrust their estate to slaves to oversee (compare 24:45-51), since household slaves often held managerial roles (for example, Treggiari 1975:49). Thus the servants understood very well what was required of them.
Most people lacked capital, but those who had it could multiply their investment fivefold or even tenfold (Lk 19:16-18); doubling one's investment (Mt 25:20, 22) might be regarded as a reasonable minimum return in the ancient economy (Derrett 1970:24). Burying money (v. 18) kept the capital safe, but the money would have been no less safe with bankers (m. Baba Mesi`a 3:11; Gundry 1982:509).
Jesus promises eternal reward for those who prove worthy of his trust. The servants' rewards were commensurate with their faithfulness in pursuing the master's interest. Elsewhere we encounter the principle that one untrustworthy in what is his own will not be trustworthy in what concerns others (Lk 16:10-12; m. Demai 2:2); here we find the principle that only those proved in small leadership positions will be prepared for bigger ones (compare, for example, Ep. Arist. 264; t. Hagiga 2:9). In the context of the preceding parable (Mt 25:10), sharing the master's happiness probably connotes banqueting with the master.
Professed disciples who insult Christ's grace by neglecting his commission in this world are damned. But as in the preceding parable (25:12), the exclusion of the unfaithful, who insult their patron's trust in them, is explicit: it involves hell's darkness (8:12; 22:13) and wailing (22:13). When the lazy servant declares, "Here is your own money back!" he refuses to acknowledge responsibility, a responsibility he could have easily enough fulfilled. Having already failed the master's trust, he now proceeds to insult the master. He offers an excuse no master would have accepted: knowing the master's reputation for sternness, he was paralyzed with fear (25:24-25). He is like too many Christians so overwhelmed by the magnitude of God's task that we put off contributing anything to it. The master rightly responds, "On the assumption that I am indeed hard and merciless, you should have been all the more diligent!" (vv. 26-27).
Whereas the other servants are rewarded by the master's benevolence, this servant, fearing the master's harshness but unaware of his benevolence (compare Patte 1987:346), experiences the very wrath he feared. This, says Jesus, is what will happen to those who claim to be his followers but do not invest their lives in the work of the kingdom.

Exploring Ubuntu's cousin for the classroom
Don't know much about history? Don't know much biology? Don't panic: Edubuntu will lead you to the wonderful world of classroom Linux.
